The first stage in Victoria is to build two new CLARA Smart Cities connected by world-class high-speed rail to Melbourne’s CBD in 30 minutes.
CLARA and the CLARA Consortium have been working on the Melbourne to Greater Shepparton Faster Rail Strategic Business Case under the Federal Government’s Faster Rail Initiative. The Strategic Business Case explores the benefits and feasibility of establishing two new CLARA Smart Cities in regional Victoria and connect them to Melbourne by world class High Speed Rail (HSR). It investigates a new way to manage and house Australia’s growing population.
